Great British Bake Off star Sue Perkins revealed the devastating news that she was unable to have children because she had a benign tumour, but she still has hopes of becoming a mother.

With several options open to her, despite the tumour making her infertile, the 46-year-old has revealed that she would consider adoption.

Sue, who has been in a relationship with TV presenter Anna Richardson, 45, for years, spoke about her hopes for a family at the Henley Literary Festival, where she launched her book, Spectacles.

When asked how she felt about not being able to have children naturally, MailOnline reports she said: “One day, maybe, I might be privileged enough to adopt a kid.

“But I don't know where you find a child. There aren't just children wandering around, and if there are you should probably go to a police station. You can't take them into your house. Who knows, every door is open. It's good.”
